Lucifer Season 7 Release Date, Cast & Renewal Status

Lucifer Season 7 is full of mysteries. Even though Lucifer had a canceled series at first, it developed a big fan following throughout six seasons. Many viewers cherished the show. However, will the production of the series continue, or will fans have to say goodbye to their favorite show? The show was originally so successful that when Fox canceled it after three seasons, Netflix picked it up for a fourth season. However, Lucifer’s life was ultimately limited, even with its new habitat. Season 6 of the Tom Ellis-led series just concluded, putting the eponymous devil’s narrative to a close. So why isn’t there Lucifer Season 7 in making?

About Lucifer TV Series

The Lucifer TV series is a police procedural comedy-drama premiered on Fox in 2016. The show was created by Tom Kapinos and stars Tom Ellis as the titular character.

The first season of Lucifer consisted of 13 episodes and aired from January 25, 2016, to April 25, 2016. The second season consisted of 18 episodes and aired from September 19, 2016, to January 30, 2017. The third season consisted of 26 episodes and aired from October 2, 2017, to May 28, 2018. The fourth season premiered on Netflix on May 8, 2019. 

It was the success and mixed response from the fans that motivated showrunners to continue it to season 5 and 6. Now, all eyes are on Lucifer Season 7. The show has not been renewed for a seventh season, meaning the sixth season is its last. So, Lucifer Season 7 has been canceled.

The series follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the former ruler of Hell who abandons his throne and comes to live in Los Angeles, where he opens a nightclub called Lux. Lucifer becomes involved in the LAPD when he helps Detective Chloe Decker (Lauren German) solve a case. As they work together, Lucifer wonders if there is more to life than just crime-solving. The series has generally received positive reviews from critics.

Why is Lucifer Season 6 the end?

Netflix’s original plans for Lucifer called for the show to end after five seasons with a dramatic announcement about God. However, the streamer then changed their mind about the show and announced that it would be renewed for a sixth season. Lucifer was renewed for ten more episodes in June 2020, allowing the show to give its characters a dignified sendoff once and for all.

Don’t get your hopes up for a Lucifer Season 7, as it’s not happening. The show was originally supposed to end with Season 5 but got picked back up by Netflix for two more seasons. However, the recent announcement that season 6 will be the ” Final” season implies no plans for further seasons after this one.

If Lucifer Season 7 had happened, who would be in it?

If Lucifer Season 7 had happened, it would have been interesting to see who would have been in it. Chances are, we would have seen several familiar faces and some new ones. Here are some of the characters that we think would have been included in the season:

Lucifer Morningstar: Of course, Lucifer himself would have been one of the main characters in the season. He is the titular character, after all.

Chloe Decker: Chloe is Lucifer’s partner and love interest so she would have been included in the season.

Maze: Maze is one of Lucifer’s closest friends and confidantes, so she would also have been a major character in the season.

Dan Espinoza: Dan is Chloe’s ex-husband and Lucifer’s friend, so that he would have played a significant role in the season.

Amenadiel: Amenadiel is Lucifer’s brother and another one of the main characters in the show. He would have been included in Season 7.

Eve: Eve is a new character who was introduced in Season 5. She is a former lover of Lucifer, and she has a major role to play in the story. She would likely have been included in Season 7 as well.

These are just some of the characters that we think would have been included in Lucifer Season 7. There are sure to be many more that we haven’t even thought of.

Why isn’t there Lucifer season 7 coming?

In the end, it all comes down to the creators’ objectives. Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich, the showrunners, had a comprehensive plan for when and how they wanted to wrap things up before even starting the series. 

The couple confessed to Entertainment Weekly that they were almost content with leaving Season 5; however, after much consideration, they decided to return to Netflix’s request of ten more episodes. With a better understanding of what their fans loved about the show, they developed an even stronger strategy for Season 6.

How it ended Even Before Lucifer Season 7?

Season 6 of Lucifer ended the series with a gut-wrenching finale that gave all main characters closure while also making things right for the Devil. After beating his wicked twin brother Michael, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) enters Season 6, planning to become God. However, when Rory Morningstar (Brianna Hildebrand), Lucifer’s future daughter, suddenly shows up and blocks him from going to Heaven, he decides to spend time with her instead to figure out why he disappeared from her life.

In the season 5 finale of Lucifer, “Partners’ Til The End,” Rory is rescued from Vincent Le Mec (Rob Benedict) by the Devil. Le Mec planned to kill the Devil, but Lucifer intervened and stopped Rory from killing him and becoming her version of the Devil (complete with Lucifer’s visage). However, Lucifer’s kidnapping and rescue of Rory was the key to why he vanishes in Rory’s future; throughout Lucifer season 6, we see that unintentionally assisting some Hell’s inmates to reach Heaven and helping Dan’s soul go to a good place has been redemption for Lucifer.

Lucifer eventually realized that he needed to go back to Hell to assist every tortured soul in breaking free from their living hell loops and achieving absolution in Heaven. Although, this comprehension requires leaving before Rory is born, which explains why Lucifer disappears from her life.

Will there be a Spinoff instead of Lucifer Season 7?

Even though Lucifer and Chloe’s story has ended, Rory (Brianna Hildebrand) is still around, allowing for a spinoff. Even though the show doesn’t detail her destiny at the end, it doesn’t leave her with much to do. Henderson and Modrovich have no intention of returning to our planet anytime soon. However, things have changed in the entertainment industry, and reboots and reunions are now commonplace. Although a Lucifer Season 7 is unlikely, fans may witness some form of return to this universe. With matters of Heaven and Hell at stake, anything’s possible.
